go with that. 4b2 -6.75b4-Cb-4a2 -6.75a4-Ca= (Ca-4a2 +6.75a4) As it turns out, all of the pieces with ‘a’ cancel, leaving me with: 4b2 -6.75b4-Cb=0Cool, now I got something that looks useful, now I need to just figure out how to use it. All this math was making me hungry so I went and grabbed a bagel, the official food of major league mathematics, and got back to it. I realized that for y=8x-27x3 when x=b, then y=c, allowing me to rewrite the original function as: C=8b-27b3 This can be plugged…

Common Core Math Standards Research Paper

When the “math wars” began in the 1990s, on one side were those who argued for a new focus on concepts and reasoning rather than drilling students on their times-tables. On the other were the traditionalists, who said the progressive approach allowed students to become unmoored from the building blocks of the subject , leaving them unprepared for more advanced mathematics. The writers of the Common Core math standards have sought a middle ground. “There are explicit expectations for knowing the…
